Timothy said he was pushed so hard that he fell down.

Timothy’s mother, Sonja Williams said the principal called her to inform her of what happened. “The class said two arms, she turned around with two arms and pushed him and said ‘I told you I’ll be over there in a minute and to go sit down’ and that’s what the principal told us that the class told him,”
